Birdsong

The soundtrack to this photo is the song of the chiffchaff. A man passed by and said 'that's a grand tree'. It's a beautiful horse chestnut near Dumfries Academy.

It's been a bumper day for birdwatching.. I also saw a pied flycatcher, a willow warbler and a goldcrest, all in the garden.

The trees are coming into leaf
Like something almost being said'

Philip Larkin
